bug-hunt

bug-hunt is a skill for Claude Code from yeaight7/agent-powerups. It costs 22 tokens per session (366 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A bug-fixing guide that reproduces a problem, finds its real cause, applies the smallest safe change, and verifies it with a focused test.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for reproducible bugs and unclear test failures when you need a root-cause explanation, minimal change, verification, and notes on remaining edge cases.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of guessing at the first visible error or bundling unrelated edits into a fix.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

bug-hunt scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Purpose

Locate and fix the root cause of a bug with minimal scope. A correct fix beats a fast guess.

When to Use

  • A specific, reproducible bug needs fixing.
  • A test is failing and the cause is unclear.
  • An unexpected behavior needs a targeted fix.

For complex, persistent, or multi-component bugs, use systematic-debugging instead.

Inputs

  • Bug description or reproduction steps.
  • Relevant error messages or stack traces.
  • Access to the codebase and test suite.

Workflow

  1. Reproduce — Trigger the bug reliably before writing any code.
  2. Identify — Find the true failing layer, not just the first place the error surfaces.
  3. Fix — Apply the minimal change at the root cause.
  4. Test — Add or update a focused test that would have caught this bug.

Output

Root cause: <what caused the bug>
Fix: <what was changed and where>
Verification: <how the fix was confirmed>
Residual risk: <any edge cases not covered>

Verification

  • Bug reproduced before fix was written
  • Root cause identified (not just symptom location)
  • Fix is minimal — no unrelated changes bundled in
  • Test added or updated to prevent regression

Failure Modes

  • Fixing the symptom — Error location ≠ root cause. Trace backward until the origin is found.
  • Skipping reproduction — Fixes written without a reliable reproduction often miss the actual bug.
  • Missing test — Without a regression test, the same bug is likely to return.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
